The systemic dimorphic fungus Blastomyces dermatitidis inhabits soil as a saprophytic mold. Upon inhalation of spores into the lung alveolus, the fungus undergoes a morphogenetic switch to its pathogenic yeast form. Yeast form cells of B. dermatitidis ATCC strain 26199 are shown under phase microscopy (×1,000), illustrating the distinctive features of a thick, refractile cell wall and unipolar budding of daughter cells from parent cells at a broad base. Targeted gene disruption of WI-1, a surface protein that coats the yeast, demonstrates that it is essential for tissue adherence and pathogenicity of B. dermatitidis. Photograph by Marcel Wüthrich.
